Today, as I blogged surfed, I came across this rant about the New York Times article about ‘Mommy Blogging’.

I posted the following comment there, and I am narcissistic enough to share it here.

I must admit, I didn't read the New York Times article that closely. I rarely read them that closely. However, my wife's reaction to the article was one of guilt and remorse, not because of the time she has spent blogging, but because she hasn't done as much 'mommy blogging' as she wants to.

I look forward to the day when one of my grandchildren win some great prize for their dissertation on 'The effects of online social publishing in restoring a sense of community, family and history in the early twenty-first century'

Hopefully, they will cite your blog. Keep up the Mommy blogging everyone.

As I reflected on the article, the rant and my response, I remember a course I took in women’s literature in college. One of the books we used in the course was Women Working, an anthology of stories and poems about women’s work. It is a wonderful book, and one that I believe anyone who is committed to the important genre of ‘mommy blogging’ should read.
